{"product_id":"ups-and-downs-william-sharpe-9781724796943","title":"Ups and Downs: Recollections of a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot","description":"I flew through the Vietnam War in the cockpit of a helicopter, hauling troops in combat assaults and anything else that would fit on a Huey cargo deck. Helicopter crews were asked to do many things in Vietnam and I did most of them, albeit to a lesser extent than my peers. My involvement was further enriched by time spent in the nerve center of a combat aviation battalion. I returned home with a trove of personal recollections- some grim, some angry, some humorous and many unique to my experience. To these, I have added tales of events that occurred in college ROTC training, flight school and post-Vietnam army service. Taken together they offer a complete picture of a brief, but compelling military career, filled with ups and downs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1724796941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781724796943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"William Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130633711871,"sku":"9781724796943","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_972ee23c-d031-4511-b8ef-d477ba81fe6a.jpg?v=1687470449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ups-and-downs-william-sharpe-9781724796943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
